Hang In There (G)
[V1]
Took this in 2024 (from 9 lb higher) and kept mistakes to a minimum when a solid fourth of 7 to Time To Bite in handicap chase at Fakenham (3m) last month. Visor goes on and this veteran can't be ruled out.

Riskintheground (G)
[T]
Landed Silver Trophy at Haydock in April and added to that in 10-runner handicap chase at Perth (3m) 3 weeks ago. Up 4 lb but this course scorer is not taken lightly.

Twig (G)
[P]
Veteran but as good as ever when winning his first 2 starts last season, latterly the Becher at Aintree. Well beaten in the National back there but back on song with third of 7 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m) last time. Also captured this…

Alien Storm (G)
Scored over fences at Plumpton and Doncaster before Christmas and posted a good second of 7 in handicap chase at Bangor (3m) last month. Came home clear of the rest there so very much one to consider.

Ki Woo (G)
[TP]
Got back on the up with victory in 8-runner handicap chase at Cartmel (25f) last month. Up 5 lb but that form has been franked so he's well in the mix.

Peaky Boy (G)
[TP]
Won 3 of 4 starts over hurdles/fences (all at Cheltenham) for Nicky Henderson in 2024. Lightly raced and below that level for current yard since but better signs when third over C&D and Worcester on last 2 runs.

Hold Your Fort (G)
Gained a third win of last season when seeing off 2 rivals at Ascot (3m) in March. Even better form when placed at Haydock (3¼m) and Fakenham (3m) since so should go well again.

Time To Bite (G)

Back to winning ways in veterans' event at Fakenham (3m) in May and backed it up with a good third of 4 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (3¼m) last time, going with enthusiasm. Needs considering dropped back in trip.

Grand Clermont (G)
[T]
French import who ended his time there with a pair of claiming chase wins. Impressed for new yard when scoring over C&D in May and posted a very good second of 8 to Samuel Spade at Worcester (23f) 17 days ago. Expected to be bang there wit…

Samuel Spade (G)
A 5-time winner over hurdles. Left his chasing debut well behind when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Worcester (23f) 17 days ago by 2½ lengths from Grand Clermont, jumping much better on that occasion. Up 5 lb and not certain to fence …

Regarde (G)
[B1T]
Arrives in good nick, soon ridden but staying on well late when second of 7 in handicap chase at Aintree (25f) last month. Will need to travel better with blinkers now replacing usual cheekpieces if he's to play a part.
